The Ludlow Hotel, New York

A hotel with great design throughout the hotel and bar, located a super-fun neighborhood with great restaurants and shops. The staff was super-friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable, having a little seating area in the double suite was perfect for a group of four to hang out and relax when we weren't out enjoying the city.

Our check in was slightly delayed when we arrived from the train station, maybe 30-40 minutes.

Nice lobby, warm and cozy, beds comfy. Staff were so friendly!

Just need more tables in lobby to seperate small groups to bigger groups.

Beautiful feeling and cozy rooms! Good location and friendly and helpful staff.

- Bedding had holes and towels had a lot of hair, however staff was very friendly to get it changed - furniture in lobby is worn

I liked the lighting and the bathroom. The room was a bit small. I loved the black notepads with white pencil. Wish there were btter chocoalte treats in the mini bar, like cookies. I love the front desk staff - Omar in particular.

Everything

Nothing

The vibe of the place, and the restaurant and food options, the fire place in the lobby area is super cozy and the location is perfect.

Clean and stylish

Location

Noisy heating so we couldn’t sleep well.

Fantastic hotel - loved the vibe, the bathrooms were beautiful and the windows / view in our room were the highlight

They are very small rooms and small beds

I loved the location and cleanliness. Along with the rooms

Found that the staff could do with cheering up a bit, nice to be greeted with a “good morning” or a “Hello” but instead it was just silence when we walked past or they were all hanging around the lobby talking to each other

The location is incredible - central to a lot of great restuarants, shops, close to the metro. The hotel lounge was the highlight - comfortable seating groups, cozy fire, great selection of light fare and teas as well as drinks.

the elevator wait time could be long at times. being a NYC hotel, the room was very small but well decorated. wish for more counter space in the bathroom and bedside table.

Very cozy hotel in a great location. The bed is extremely comfortable. Staff was very nice. The room service food was delicious. I’d definitely stay here again.

I had a corner room and the balcony below sticks out. (Hard to explain but they are very close together giving the balcony below a full view into the above room.) A man was out on his balcony in 20 degree weather peeping into my room.

Great location, comfortable lounge area with food service, overall relaxing

Amazing location and best service

Beautiful room and bathroom, super cosy bed and fluffy pillows! Bath salts and bubble bath provided. Nice amenities and wide minibar selection. Nice Lounge area for guests with a real fireplace.

I have stayed at the Ludllow a few times now, and it never disappoints! Great rooms, restaurant, staff & location

I looooved my stay at the Ludlow. I genuinely screamed when I saw my room - I’m not sure if I got an upgrade, maybe because it was the middle of December and freezing, but I booked a standard room and got a massive terrace with it. The room itself didn’t feel much bigger than the same class in comparable hotels at first, but everything was considered - for one, there was actually space to open one’s suitcase, everything was beautiful, sparkling clean and comfortable, big well lit mirrors, stylish bathroom with plush robes, good natural light in general. The staff was wonderful. And the view from the rooftop terrace is worth it in its own right.

Breakfast service felt a little slow perhaps.

We loved everything about the hotel. We thought it was a great location and easy to get to areas we wanted to explore such as Soho, Greenwich etc. Staff were brilliant and very attentive.

I can't think of anything.

I always stay here when I visit my daughters.great location great food nice staff.

Great location , right opposite Kats diner which was a bonus to beat the queues 😁

Nothing - all was great !

Everything about this hotel is wonderful

All good Not great

Ordering room Service should be easy I like to talk to a person

It’s a fantastic hotel with easy access to some of the city’s coolest neighborhoods. The bathrooms are so impressive. Hotel’s free umbrellas came in handy on a rainy day. Roof top is free for guests and worth a stop for the view. I’ve stayed here several times and will be back again.

If your room is facing Ludlow on the weekend, you may hear some of the late night action at street level.

This place really hits different. I chose it because it’s part of Design Hotels, and I was genuinely amazed from the moment I arrived. The room was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and clean, and the bathroom was something special. I was given a high floor, and the view was spectacular. You can tell the entire hotel was designed by real professionals — the attention to detail is impressive. I felt comfortable and welcomed throughout my stay. The staff were professional yet warm, which made everything even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The only thing that made my stay a bit less comfortable was a strange, constant noise in my room — almost like an AC running, even though it wasn’t on. I had to sleep with earplugs, and even then, the sound had such a weird tone that I could still hear it. If I stay longer next time, I’ll definitely try to get this resolved.

The view of the city was one, of if not the best thing about our room. Second was the bath tub and it was a main deciding factor for the room. Our room had enough space for two and was well equipped with water, snacks, a Nespresso coffee machine and pods — even an umbrella for if it rained and we needed one. The pancakes at Dirty French were the best that I’ve had in my life.

Location Clean Decor

No lighting in lounge area or rooms to make it easy to read . But it was lovely mood lighting . Food from restaurant I only ate 3x and very salty

great location and decor, really nice, helpful front desk (great food suggestions); nice gym, lounge; great robes and slippers. umbrella in the closet a nice touch

bartenders and servers in lounge not as friendly compared to front desk; martinis not great; room and bathroom were very well appointed but both needed more storage-drawers or shelves could be added in space allotted. water pressure could be better and a water from shower leaks outside no matter how careful you are. finally, too expensive for

Everything. Was so beautiful that I proposed in our Loft (Suite) Room! Amazing views, service excellent (and relaxed, not stiff)

everyone was very kind and the entire hotel was clean and put together

a little pricy but i’d rather splurge on location and cleanliness

Great location and atmosphere

No dresser in room.

Location is fantastic,staff were fantastic went out of their way to help any way they could

Unfortunately the bed was very squeaky

Location is perfect for LES hipness and great restaurants.

NO REAL NIGHTSTANDS in our room #502 was a real problem. Could not place waters , phone, remote, etc… on a nightstand. Strongly suggest you get this sorted for the price of the rooms.

Great vibe and location

Great location, friendly and helpful staff,

It was a beautiful room with a great view. For such a small space they utlised well as well. We were delighted when the room was available for early check in as we'd caught a red eye and were exhausted!

There were a lot of expensive things filling up the space that we could buy but took up most of the bedside table. It is expensive but NYC is generally so we were happy with the price. No plant based options on the menu was a real shame.

Beautifully appointed, super comfortable, amazing views, quiet and amazing location.

Very nice bar and restaurant areas. Very relaxed welcoming vibe. Incredibly comfortable bed.

Bathroom space very tight. Little storage space

Stunning rooms and views. Bathroom was phenomenal, would go back just for that. Comfy bed but location wise was abit out of the hustle and bustle if that is what you want in NYC.

Great Lobby. Great staff. High quality furnishings, linens, and toiletries.

Not much. I really like it. Rooms are small but I don't mind. They are elk thought out and nice.

Lovely communal space, lovely rooms

Limited bar/ lounge opening hours at night

We were getting civilly married in Manhattan and chose the Ludlow for its location, in walking distance to City Hall and close to some of the best parts of the LES. The facilities were fantastic and the service impeccable: They upgraded our High Floor Queen to a Skybox Loft and gifted us a bottle of prosecco. The rooftop is also stunning - we were able to take photos up there after our City Hall appointment. We ordered room service twice and the food was delicious. I would definitely go to the restaurant next time. Katz's and Russ & Daughters are on the corner - perfect for breakfast!

Literally had a perfect stay. No notes.

The staff in reception were very welcome and accommodating. We were staying for 4 nights and found our first room was too small and asked to change to larger one for an extra charge of course. Rooms in NY aren’t that big but although the Ludlow is beautifully designed we felt the standard room to be way too small. Not really much room to unpack so we didn’t bother. Breakfast was good. We both like different things to eat so it’s important to have the variation. We found most of the staff to be very cheerful.

There were one or two of the staff in the restaurant that we felt were a little on the sullen side but it’s possible they stood out by comparison to the ones who cheerful.

Ambience

Some very interesting types outside and especially in the evening which made going in and out of the hotel a bit sketchy

The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The double room--two separate rooms with a hallway in between, with the bathroom located in the hallway--was perfect for our family of four. The only issue with the room is that you walk right into the tight queen bedroom, but the king room is quite spacious with a sitting area. We will definitely stay here again.

Everything was superb. The room with the bathroom exceeded my expectations! The staff was very helpful. I loved that they provide free bath salts and bath bubbles.

Very stylish decor Cool spot

Noisy

Bed was comfortable. Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was missing a toothbrush and they happily provided a dental kit.

It would have been nice to have a way to fix tea in the room. I do understand why they didn't (the room was very small), but it meant that I couldn't have a cup of tea when I rose at 5:30 a.m.

Stayed for the second time for our wedding and we’re lucky enough to chat to the lady with the amazing blow dry at the front desk who helped us upgrade to the most amazing room I’ve ever stayed in. You truly made our trip and sorry your colleague took the flowers! My favourite Manhattan hotel that I’ll always return to! Nothing is too much to ask, all basic amenities covered and more

Decoration , clean and the balcony w plants , I feel I was at home

The mattress and pillow too soft for me
